fly away sunset


fly away sunset

i generally resist the urge to go overboard with the saturation. not my style... but sometimes i'm ok with it, and i suppose this is one of those times.

can you tell by my indecisiveness how i really feel about it?

this is of a lifeguard station in huntington beach, and for a slight challenge I decided to go onto the beach armed only with the 50mm f/1.8... lesson learned: didn't do the math on how much walking i was gonna have to do to frame shots properly. but, that's fine as i do like the results of the outing... some great DOF in some portraits i took of the family.

with this photo in aperture i cropped to square leaving the lifeguard post in the lower half of the photo, leaving the sky to fill the rest of the frame. then vignette and saturated... also dropped the exposure level a bit to drop any detail from the lifeguard post into the shadow.

hope you like ;-)

thanks for stopping by.
